The Pros and Cons of Over 50 Life Insurance

If you are over 50 and considering whether to take out life insurance, here is a handy guide to the pros and cons of Over 50 Life Insurance. A fixed sum paid on your death can be a boost to your family at a traumatic time ... did you know that four in ten people have not put enough aside to cover the cost of their funeral?*

Pros

• Guaranteed acceptance - unlike other life insurance policies, you do not need to answer any medical questions.
• Fixed cash payout - when you take out your plan, you agree the lump sum to be paid out when you die.
• Fixed monthly premiums - you choose how much you can afford to pay each month.
• Whole-of-life cover - the policy will pay out regardless of when you die.
• Spend as they wish - the payout from your policy can be used for your funeral costs, to pay off existing debts or simply as a gift for your loved ones.

Cons

• Waiting period until you are fully covered (because there are no medical questions) - typically 12 months but can be longer with some insurers.
• You can't miss payments - if you do, your cover will usually end. However, some insurers will allow a payment holiday if you have already been paying in for a set period.
